Emre has lived a hard existence. Raised by a monster who believed he was a witch because his mother was from Weskana, Emre was regularly beaten by his father until he ran away from home. A mere boy when he entered the royal army, he served his king with fierce loyalty. King Gehen rewarded the valiant warrior, considering him the son he never had. But the past never faded, creating a merciless vampire who enjoyed his task of finding victims to take back to his people in Merile.
When Chloe turned eighteen, her father sold her to become a concubine for the king. Events changed her life when Gehen was called to a meeting with the fae king and never returned. Faced with the prospect of the unknown, she hopes that the new leader will free her which is customary for the concubines when there is a change of leadership.
With the belief that he is the best choice and Gehen considered him a son, Emre takes control of the leadership and everything that Gehen once possessed, including his concubines. Emre is not interested in them but when he sees Chloe, his opinion changes. Emre refuses to force Chloe into his bed and asks for a week to convince her to willingly join him.
Emre's got big plans for Merile and her citizens. He begins to realize that Chloe is more than what she seems and exactly what he needs. With Chloe by his side, Emre will create an impressive future for himself, his people, and the woman who believes in him.
Cassius never expected his life to change. He was happy to live the life of a playboy prince. With his lovers Beth and Fenno at his side, he moved between his country Laeroth and Beth's homeworld, Earth. The enticing world is far from what he's used to in Laeroth. His partying lifestyle comes to an abrupt halt when his mother's favored guard appears, giving him a grim message. He must return home at once.

She has been a loyal and trustworthy protector of the leader's wife, hiding many secrets from those who looked at Aurielle. Her life has been one of service, wary of those around her and always keeping a sharp eye on her surroundings. Ressanae would die to protect her queen and she would do anything to ensure that she remains safe. Even if it means that she has to kill someone.
Trusted with bringing the young prince back to Laeroth, Ressanae travels to the obscure dimension that she'd only heard whispers of previously. Finding Cassius is the easy part, convincing him to return without saying too much will prove to be Ressanae's greatest challenge. Cassius knows what his future holds and he's not prepared to let go of the past and those who dwell in it.
Accepting a future bound by rules and limitations, Cassius believes that his life will become dull and depressing. Forced to marry and produce an heir, he thinks that no wife will accept the lovers that have been his entire world. He's seen how his father's many concubines have destroyed his mother's happiness. Cassius knows what damage it can do but he cannot let go of Fenno who has been by his side for longer than he can remember and Beth, the temptress from another world.
Finding a path to a happy future will entwine their paths in ways that Cassius or Ressanae never imagined, creating a life they never expected.
